Gymnocalycium baldianum ‘Dwarf Chin Cactus’ is native to the mountainous and grassy regions of Argentina. Also known as Echinocactus badianus and Gymnocalycium platense var. baldianum, it is a bulb-shaped, semi-flatted cactus, 3 to 5 inches (8 to 13cm) in diameter. It usually grows up to 3 to 4 inches (7.62 to 10.16 cm) tall and consists of unbranched, flattened, spherical stem.
It consists of 9 or 11 wide ribs with 5 to 7 radial spines that are light gray in color. It produces magenta, orange, purple-red, or white flowers that are about 1.5 inches or 4 to 6 cm in diameter. This plant flowers freely in the spring and summer months.
The Gymnocalycium baldianum can be grown both indoors and outdoors. One thing you should know about this plant is it prefers partial shade as opposed to direct sunlight. It can do well indoors as well as outdoors, so long as you provide it with the proper care that it needs to thrive. If grown indoors, it needs proper ventilation and air circulation for it to thrive. It does not do well in stagnant air.
